Abstract
This study proposes strategies for elder abuse prevention and policy alternatives. To achieve the purposes, this study set up a cause and effect model through bibliographical review and interviewed 290 elderly people at the ages of over 65 who were attending a senior citizens center of G city with the use of a questionnaire. Policy alternatives based on the results of the study are presented as follows: First, as elder abuse happens at home, social awareness to prevent it should be changed. Second, for emergent relief of the elderly who were abused and prevention of further elder abuse, senior citizen protection institutes’s activities should be facilitated. Third, society should be responsible for decrease in stress from elderly care. Fourth, social activities of the elderly should be actively encouraged. Fifth, through a substantial elderly pension system, alternatives to remove dark corners in income support for the elderly should be developed. Sixth, protection measures for low-class elderly people should be also searched for.
